Session 2: Developing Flexible Addition and Subtraction Strategies

How do students learn to add and subtract? This session looks at how the development of magnitude in the early years helps foster a robust and flexible fluency with addition and subtraction in later years. It explores the role of practice and the types of practice that builds understanding as the foundation for fluency. And it looks at the strategies educators can use to help students develop more efficient strategies through the years.
